<p>[quote user="AgentKid"]<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Calgary is really not participating in the N.A. heat wave. It is <i>really</i> cool in the apartment today, and I checked on the Weather Network site to see why. We dropped down to 42° at 6:00 AM! It is 63° now (1:00 PM) and sunny, with a high of 70° forecast, but we still have a west wind so I wouldn't want to bet on it getting that warm.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I was looking at a temperature gradient map Wednesday night and it gave me a funny thought. Regina, SK was not really that warm either, but between the Regina/Moose Jaw area and the Saskatchewan/North Dakota border it started to get real hot. The temperature lines were running almost perpendicular to the rail line down to the Twin Cities and Chicago. Back in the days before good air conditioning, someone riding south on the Soo-Dominion might start to become concerned by the time they got to the border, maybe a little scared going through ND, and thinking of taking a train back north by the time they got to the next State boundary! Who knew how hot it was going to be in the Twin Cities, and forget about Chicago.</span></span>[/quote]</p> <p>Bruce...I just saw a news clip from Montreal...they had a rainstorm there...and it showed a car parked over a storm sewer. The sewer was gushing up with such force, that it literally picked the rear end of the car up into the air.</p> <p>Its currently 98 here in San Antonio...and no chance of rain for the foreseeable future.</p>
